About Halmstad, Sweden — EU-based
Founded 2022 · Independent

An EU application platform where teams can build fully on Vault56.

Vault56 is built and operated from Sweden, hosted in the EU, and intentionally independent of non-EU cloud dependency for core backend delivery. It exists both for advanced developers who want full platform control and for non-programmers who want to vibe-code apps with Vault56 AI.

Why we exist

The same backend, over and over.

Almost every product team gets pushed into dependency sprawl. One service for the backend, another for storage, another for workflows, another for hosting, and often non-EU providers at the center of it all.

We started Vault56 because advanced developers should be able to build serious applications without giving the backend away to another cloud or platform. The application platform itself should be enough.

Vault56 is also for people who do not code. If you can describe the application you want, Vault56 AI can draft it for you on the same platform that experienced developers use directly.

And — because where a platform lives matters — Vault56 is Swedish, EU-based, and independent of non-EU companies for core backend delivery. That's not branding; it's part of the architecture.

Principles

Three commitments
the platform is built on.

Decisions in a platform compound. These three commitments shape the small calls we make every week and explain why Vault56 is built both for serious developers and for people creating apps through AI.
01

Independence by construction

Built from Sweden, hosted in the EU, with no US company dependency in the core platform foundation. That decision shapes everything downstream, vendor choices, data paths, operational defaults.

02

Platform over plumbing

Backend work should be platform behavior, not custom engineering on every team. The closer that line moves, the more time goes into product and the less into reinventing the same primitives.

03

AI opens the platform to non-programmers

Vault56 AI can draft the first version of an application for people who do not write code, while advanced developers can still build directly on the same platform without compromise.

Based in

Halmstad, Sweden.

The team, the engineering, and the platform itself are based in Sweden. Infrastructure runs in the EU. Operational independence is intentional and permanent, not a marketing label.

Story so far

A short, opinionated timeline.

We don't ship for the sake of shipping. Each milestone here removed a category of backend work that product teams shouldn't have to do alone.
2022
Vault56 founded in Halmstad
Started on the Swedish west coast as the platform we wanted to use ourselves, backend as platform behavior, not custom plumbing.
2023
Core platform: APIs, storage, workflows
Generated endpoints, S3-compatible storage with revisions, workflows and permissions as first-class platform capabilities.
2024
AI Builder, optional accelerator
Plain-language drafting of records, endpoints, permissions, and workflow states. Always optional. Core platform stays independent.
2026
Release manager, branching, CDC
Promotion previews, isolated data branches, replay-safe change streams. Operational confidence for serious products.
